Butterfly wings languidly Beat on a distant jacaranda petal Pulse quickens Veins bulge. Blood red Juices flow. Flight. Full ripe Persimmon on shaken stem Trembles and falls into eager hands.

The morning wakes with skies of red with ocean waves whispering “It’s time to get out of bed”. No matter what the weather, Let’s face this new day together. Walk beside me on the beach, feel the sand under your feet, the wind in your hair and smell the salt water air And know that…

Who hears the silent crimson screams of pain It was not the one who birthed me of want Her ears were closed to any of my cries I yanked on her dress please please hear I need to tell you why I am this way She looks past me to a place I am no…

Once Upon Finding Fiona I wasn’t looking, but somehow I found you ? Nightly a stranger on my computer screen Who are you? ?
